Leni [432]3 years ago

a) x – 2y + 6 = 0 b) x + y = 1 c) y = 1 d) y = -3x + 8

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

<em><u>a. The points (-4,1) and (2,4) both lie on the line</u></em>

The general line equation on which (a, b) and (c, d) lies is:

y-\mathrm{b}=\frac{d-b}{c-a}(x - a)

Here the given points are (a, b) = (-4, 1) and (c, d) = (2, 4)

Thus the required equation is:

y-1=\frac{4-1}{2-(-4)}(x-(-4))

On solving we get,

\begin{array}{l}{\rightarrow y-1=\frac{3}{2+4}(x+4)} \\\\ {\rightarrow y-1=\frac{3}{6}(x+4)} \\\\ {\rightarrow 2(y-1)=1(x+4)} \\\\ {\rightarrow 2 y-2=x+4} \\\\ {\rightarrow x-2 y+6=0}\end{array}

<em><u>b.) m= -1 and the point (2, -1) lies on the line</u></em>

The equation of line in point slope form is y – b = m(x – a)  

where m is slope and (a, b) is a point on it

Here m = -1 and (a, b) = (2, -1)

Thus the required equation is:

y – (-1) = -1(x - 2)  

y + 1 = -x + 2  

y = -x + 2 -1  

y = -x + 1

<em><u>c. )It has the same slope as y = 5 and passes through (1, 1)</u></em>

our line has same slope with y = 5, then our equation would be y = k  and it passes through (x, y) = (1, 1) so, then by substitution

1 = k

k =1  

Then our equation will be y = k

y = 1

<em><u> d. ) m= -3 and it has a y-intercept of (0, 8)</u></em>

line equation in slope intercept form is y = mx + b where m is slope and b is y – intercept.

Then, our equation will be y = -3x + 8

We took y- intercept = 8 as it is the value of y when x = 0

WRITE AN COMPOUND INEQUALITY FOR THIS SENTENCE
Mila [183]
Hello there!

Write a compound inequality for this sentence: 'w' is less than 4 and greater than or equal to -8
Only use 'w' once.


W is less than four ~ 4 \ \textgreater \ w

W is greater than or equal to -8 ~ w \geq -8

If we were to put this together, it would look like:

4 \ \textgreater \  w  \geq  -8


I hope I helped!

Let me know if you need anything else!

M&lt;1 and m&lt;2 are vertical angles if m&lt;1 = 106° and M&lt;2 equals 20x - 14 find M&lt;2
just olya [345]

Answer:

Answer:

m∠2= 86

Step-by-step explanation:

since they are vertical angles, that means they are both equal to eachother.

so lets set them equal!

17x+1=20x-14

17x+15=20x

15=3x

x=5

now input x into m∠2

m∠2 = 20(5) – 14 = 86

Urgent help needed!
zalisa [80]

To write this in standard form, you need to eliminate the fraction in the coefficient of variable x. You can do this by multiplying 8 to the two sides of the equation:

8(y) = 8[(-5/8)x + 3]

8y = -5x + 24

Transpose the variable x to the other side:

5x + 8y = 24
